Kane's POV
"Personal plaything?"

Her words hit me like a slap. Why the hell would she say that? My mind stalled for a moment, struggling to process her accusation. Did she really believe that my desire for her was just about sex?
Did she think I was some reckless bastard who couldn't control his urges?
Selene let out a dry laugh. "Alpha Kane, maybe you should start eating walnuts or something. Seems like you're suffering from memory loss at such a young age."
My jaw clenched. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
No matter how furious I got, it was useless. Whenever she was in front of me, I lost control. She was the only person who could soothe the storm inside me while simultaneously fueling the fire.
She crossed her arms, her eyes sharp as she continued. "You really forgot why you gave me that card? Just because I didn't take it and left it at your house the day we divorced?"
Her words dragged me straight back to that day-the day she walked out of my life.
Regret burned through me as I recalled what I had said to her. I hadn't meant it, not in the way she thought. I had been pissed off, blinded by my own anger because she had been so damn desperate for a divorce. Back then, I convinced myself that I hated her.
But everything changed after that one night.
I took a step back, exhaling sharply. "That's not what I meant."
Her gaze pierced through me, filled with bitterness. And that expression-God, why did she have so many painful memories because of me?
Selene drew in a deep breath before speaking again.
"Curiosity made me ask, 'What agreement?""
I frowned. "What are you talking about?"
She held my gaze, her voice steady but cold. "Make sure my children have a good life. I won't stand in your way. I'll give up my happiness if it means they get theirs. That's all I ever asked for, isn't it?"
The weight of her words hit me like a punch to the gut.
I was speechless.
Did she really think that? That I would ever keep our children from her?
If I had wanted to cut her out completely, she wouldn't even have the chance to
see them today. And yet, that was the conclusion she had come to.
The ache in my chest was unbearable, but even through the pain, I couldn't stop looking at her.
Why was I like this?

I never treated anyone else this way. If it were any other woman, and I wanted her, I wouldn't hesitate I'd lock her away, keep her where I could reach her. But this was Selene.
Why couldn't I force her to go back to the woman she used to be-the one who was mine?
A heavy silence settled between us before I finally spoke.
"You can see them whenever you want. You don't need anyone's permission anymore."
Selene's breath hitched slightly, her surprise evident. "You're really letting me see them? Her voice softened for just a second before her suspicion returned. “What do you want in return?"
I let out a low chuckle, shaking my head.
"You still don't know me, do you?" I paused, then added, "Just stay away from Grayson."
She crossed her arms again, tilting her head at me. "Why? Does it bother you that another man has the confidence to look you in the eye and talk back?"
My eyes darkened. "Don't push me, Selene. You'll regret it."
She scoffed. "That's all you can do-warn me. You don't actually have the power to stop me."
With that, she turned and walked past me, heading for the door.
Even though she was arguing with me, I couldn't help but enjoy it. But watching
her walk away? That was a different kind of pain.
I exhaled, my voice cutting through the air before she could leave.
"I ended things with Ruby."
